  • 1/2 c white onion diced
  • 4 green onions – white bulb diced and separated from green tops

Instructions

  • Brown chicken {or turkey} in skillet over medium heat until almost completely cooked.
  • Add mushrooms, onions, white parts of the green onion, ginger, and coconut aminos. Saute until veggies are soft.
  • Add garlic, vinegar, mustard, and honey to skillet. Mix to combine. Cook 1-2 minutes.
